I <3 chrome and its simplicity, I can't wait till they come out with their own AdBlock for Chrome. They have some filters that you can apply but I'm not that high speed where I can figure out what to block and not block lol.

Ugh, it's sad really. To use the internet we have to install multiple programs and disable features and stuff. And this is the future :\
It's a catch 22, be exposed to bad joojoo, or help out the website.

If a site gets support off of giving you bad joo joo it's not a hard choice.

That's like feeling bad about a guy who got busted selling crack at a middle school because he has two kids at home.

I'm a big fan of OpenDNS, personally.



You don't have to run a program on your computer to filter out stuff. Instead you can filter by category (they have many) and then tweak as needed. You can also block malware/phishing sites and "camped domains" as well.

If they block something you want, you can update your config to whitelist that page, that site, or that domain, but only to your own network.

You just sign up, and then set your DNS resolver IP's to the ones they send you.
